I am currently reading Kahneman’s book, and about 100 pages in I realized I was going to cache a lot more of the information if I started mapping out some of the dependencies between ideas in a directed graph. Example: I’ve got an edge from {Substitution} to {Affect heuristic}, labeled with the reminder “How do I feel about it? vs. What do I think about it?”. My goal is not to write down everything I want to remember, rather to (1) provide just enough to jog my memory when I consult this graph in the future, and (2) force me to think critically about what I’m reading when deciding whether or not add more nodes and edges.
